First find how much each space is worth: (end − start) ÷ number of spaces.
1.A number line goes from 0 to 125 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 50
- Each space is (125 − 0) ÷ 5 = 25
- 0 + 2 × 25 = 50
2.A number line goes from 0 to 1,000 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 0. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 200
- Each space is (1,000 − 0) ÷ 10 = 100
- 0 + 2 × 100 = 200
3.What number is halfway between 190 and 370?
Answer: 280
- 370 − 190 = 180; half of that is 90
- 190 + 90 = 280
4.A number line goes from 700 to 825 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 2 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 750
- Each space is (825 − 700) ÷ 5 = 25
- 700 + 2 × 25 = 750
5.A number line goes from 200 to 300 and is split into 4 equal spaces. The arrow is 1 space along from 200. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 225
- Each space is (300 − 200) ÷ 4 = 25
- 200 + 1 × 25 = 225
6.What number is halfway between 380 and 540?
Answer: 460
- 540 − 380 = 160; half of that is 80
- 380 + 80 = 460
7.A number line goes from 700 to 1,700 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 4 spaces along from 700. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 1,100
- Each space is (1,700 − 700) ÷ 10 = 100
- 700 + 4 × 100 = 1,100
8.A number line goes from 500 to 625 and is split into 5 equal spaces. The arrow is 3 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 575
- Each space is (625 − 500) ÷ 5 = 25
- 500 + 3 × 25 = 575
9.What number is halfway between 280 and 680?
Answer: 480
- 680 − 280 = 400; half of that is 200
- 280 + 200 = 480
10.A number line goes from 500 to 700 and is split into 10 equal spaces. The arrow is 7 spaces along from 500. What number does the arrow point to?
Answer: 640
- Each space is (700 − 500) ÷ 10 = 20
- 500 + 7 × 20 = 640
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
